Signature

Created with the guests particular palate in mind composed from the most premium ingredients

Shochu

Shochu was born of simple pot still technology imported from Korea and Taiwan some 700 years ago. Once thought of as a drink for the coal miners and farmers of the southern Japan, it is becoming increasingly popular in its native Japan and around the world. A reflection of the grain or starch it is made from and the same koji that makes sake possible, shochu is wonderfully funky and grainy at its best it comes to life on the rocks with hearty grilled meats. Roka Akor and ROKA BAR also use shochu as a vehicle to explore some exciting options for infusions. An exciting component of our beverage "laboratory," guests can expect to see several house infused versions available at all times

Food was awesome! Ordered the decadent omakase...a lot of food. Best sea bass we have ever had! Blows away other restaurants like this in Chicago! Only negative is that it is very loud in the restaurant. We were seated in the back private area but still had hard time hearing each other. So if you want quiet night put...probably would choose something else. But overall...highly recommended!

My wife and I went to Roka Akor for her 30th birthday and ordered their signature omakase tasting menu. We happened to be seated near another couple on a date who arrived immediately after us and ordered the decadent omakase. It was really fun to watch the courses come out in close succession. We were definitely thrilled with what we got, the highlights of which were the dramatic sashimi and dessert trays (especially the shockingly scrumptious purple sweet potato custard) and the hot courses of grilled black cod and ribeye steak. We sampled so many different subtle and bold flavors and left stuffed to the gills. As much as we loved our selections, there were definitely times when our new friends courses left me and my wife wishing we could get a sample, including a gigantic, covetable platter of lobster. Our server, Jennifer, was admittedly new the restaurant, but provided knowledgeable and skillful service such that we would never have guessed. The support staff was amazing at keeping our waters full and our plates clean. And the manager made sure to introduce himself and offer any assistance he might be able to give. Overall, the service and the food were both of the highest order. We both agreed it was one of the most memorable and exquisite meals of our lives.

What a great experience! Roka Akor has an extensive menu with something for everyone. The maki rolls were incredibly fresh and creative. The Scallops and Wagyu Dumplings are not to be missed! Though we didn’t try any of the entrees from the Robata Grill, they looked (and smelled) amazing! I was most impressed with the service; from the knowledge of our server Janelle all the way through to the management presence on the floor. I’ll definitely be back!!

Food was amazing! The waygu beef filet, memorable! We also had a 5 piece shashimi set, the shrimp and lobster dumplings, brussel sprouts and tempura shrimp. Tab was about $300 with drinks and w/o tip. Very busy, high volume.

Fantastic meal! Fresh, delicious sushi bento! My group had the bento box Roka recommended salmon. Fabulous! It was an affordable lunch, fresh & delish! Two others had the skewers. Also delish. But highly recommendi bento box for the variety! Will be back!

From the beginning to end just amazing. We were greeted and immediately the host offered to check or coats and got us seated at a great table. Our waiter was amazing and paid such great attention to detail, we never had a dirty dish for longer than 2 seconds. The food came out very fast and it was by far the best sushi I have ever had. Our waiter made great wine recommendations and everything was just perfect. Will definitely be coming back!

This place is crazy good. Been there twice in the past three weeks. Servers are knowledgeable and provide excellent recommendation. Great selections of meat, seafood and veggies. Superb sake selections. Choices on the Seasonal menu were exceptional and the tartare's are beyond excellent!! A little on the pricey side but my opinion is that it is worth every penny! Would not be a restaurant that I could afford every day, but for special occasions, client/business lunches or dinners you will not disappoint your clients! Every one of our group commented that they could not wait to come back again! Great experience. It is always a nice touch when the Manager personally comes over to check on how things are going and asks again when leaving if everything was enjoyed and service up to our expectations. Both David and Jason are superb at their jobs and exude hospitality!

Absolutely amazing...the food changed my life lol. I usually go to Morton’s steakhouse, Mastro, Capital Grille, David Burke prime, Michael Jordan etc.. by far this was the best experience ever more of the Wagyu Steak OMG...(100% Crazy good.) I will recommend to any living person to try it.. add it on your bucket list. All the food was delicious.. high 10 to the Chef. Our server had good knowledge, history of the food which was great and amazing . (I would request him on my next visit) On the flip side the valet crew was horrible, when arrived my husband had to wave to them for attention because they were watching something on their phones( totally unacceptable ) they didn’t care what so ever.. I didn’t feel welcomed by them. That’s where the difference come in Vs other fine dinning restaurants. Other places I mentioned the valet guys are phenomenal, but these ones were bad. Our hostess was the lady with side hairstyle which is cute, she was great as well took her time while I was talking to her... very nice lady that business people would love to hire.. good personality.. I was showing her Iron Chef America Morimoto pictures with me. 5 STARS—🤩. LOVED IT...

Dined alone and had the Decadent omakase meal. Fabulous food, too much for one person and definitely was a great deal for the price!! 10 courses from amuse bouche to dessert for $125 for a single diner is the best deal in town! Most notable dishes: toro tartare, Sushi presentation, robata sea bass and prawn, finally, American wagyu with three kinds of salt and homemade ponzu. Divine!!!!!

The sauce they serve with the Black Cod skewers...so friggin' good. I'd order a bowl of that like soup if I wasn't certain I'd be asked to leave. All in all, great lunch, delicious food, attentive service.

Great food, even better service! Loved our server, he was very well informed about the menu and gave good suggestions.We got the Chicken Yakitori Skewers, Prime Rib Eye, and Soft Shell Crab roll - everything was full of flavor and really delicious!! Would definitely recommend and go back!

my wife and i had dinner at the bar on a saturday night. Slava and Ryan were our fantastic bartenders and skillfuly guided us through the food and wine menu. They educated us about the intricacies of the menu and entertained us with their stories about the restaurant. We loved the food and the vivacious atmosphere . This was one of the most creative menus I have seen and the food was very fresh. We will be back with friends. We hope to see Ryan and Slava again.Thanks so much for the great time guys.
